Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "6.25" was replaced by "(625/100)".

Step  1  :

            25
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

                  25
  (23 -  (52)) +  ——
                  4 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

                25
  (23 -  52) +  ——
                4 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

           -2     -2 • 4
     -2 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        4   

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 -2 • 4 + 25     17
 ———————————  =  ——
      4          4 

Final result :

  17           
  —— = 4.25000 
  4
